Lyrics

I wanna be (I wanna be, I wanna be)
I wanna be your man (I wanna be, be your man)
I, I wanna be (I wanna be, I wanna be)
Want to be your man, oh, yes I do (I wanna be, be your man)
(I wanna be, I wanna be)
(I wanna be your man)
Words could never say what I feel
It's too intense (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh)
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried to tell you how I feel
But I get mixed up (so mixed up)
(Shoo-be-do-bop)
(Shoo-be-do-bop)
(Shoo-be-do-bop)
(Shoo-be-do-bop)
I must make you understand
I wanna be (I wanna be, I wanna be)
Wanna be your man (I wanna be, be your man)
I wanna be (I wanna be, I wanna be)
Wanna be your man, babe (I wanna be, be your man)
I wanna be (I wanna be, I wanna be)
I wanna be your man (I wanna be your man, girl) (I wanna be, be your man)
I wanna be, I (I wanna be, I wanna be)
Want to be your man, oh, yes I do (I wanna be, be your man)
(I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, be your man) hee!
Nobody else, you know that (I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be)
